Bayer Crop Science has created an online portal – www.AgVoice4Choice.com  – to encourage growers, applicators and other interested parties to learn more about pest management techniques and send letters to their U.S. Congress persons.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a 60-day comment period on the “Benefits of Neonicotinoid Seed Treatments to Soybean Production” report, closing December 22. This creates a window of opportunity for the entire agricultural industry to collectively respond to maintain choice for growers in the tools and technologies needed to produce healthy harvests.

Pest management is a significant part of a grower’s ability to maximize yield and profitability, and access to the newest insecticide technology is critical.  Any action by the EPA to reduce these options could have a crippling impact on production.

Reports from a new study conducted by Ag Infomatics provide reliable, objective evidence of the benefits these products bring to modern pest management systems. You can view this information online at www.growingmatters.org.
